Bungie is clearly not the same studio it used to be either, they have made some pretty shitty design decisions with destiny because they couldn't be bothered to create a full and engrossinggame.source: Redditshow contexthide context

For the intense combat they added vehicles that give a new interface and unique abilities for that quest or instance and they over hauled how questing/game play works in general to be much more engrossing.source: Redditshow contexthide context

Although I personally did not enjoy it as much as other games (I thought the story pacing was a little slow, and the gameplay wasn't as engrossing minute-to-minute for me), it's objectively one of the best games in the series, IMO.source: Redditshow contexthide context

Sure, some of the puzzles required me going online but when the world that game created is so engrossing I can let it slide.source: Redditshow contexthide context

I honestly think that as Americans the team were afraid of the game mechanics and saw it as given it needed to be simplified as to something no more difficult than reloading your weapon.Yes too complicated a learning curve does put people off but PS1 had a quirkiness in play mechanics that really wasn't difficult it was engrossing.source: Redditshow contexthide context

I feel the gameplay is very simplistic and not engrossing as such but it is such a charming game.source: Redditshow contexthide context

Because of this I don't have quite the melancholy feeling you do, but it wasn't because the game was engrossing, it was because of the conversations I was having and the game was just the communication medium.source: Redditshow contexthide context

I think that's a good thing, to be so engrossed with a book that you're thinking about it when you're not even reading it, same with games, if it's engrossing enough then it can still provoke you even when you're at work and it helps stave off bordemsource: Reddit

I definitely approach this game as more of a meditative activity than an engrossing narrative.source: Redditshow contexthide context

From my personal experience, they were too engrossing to put down and before you know it I ended up beating each games.source: Redditshow contexthide context

Deus Ex & Arkham City are engrossing & deep singleplayer games, and you could get both for much less than the cost of either MK8 or Bayo.source: Reddit

For me, rarely has a game invoked that much emotion from me while being absolutely beautiful and engrossing.source: Redditshow contexthide context

I used to play it all the time on my PSP via emulation and it's probably one of the few games I sunk alot of time and hours throughout HS it was THAT engrossing!source: Reddit

That might just be me personally, but while I do play the Vita less than my 3DS, I do feel the games are a but more engrossing and closer to a portable console, where as the 3DS feels like its own thing.source: Redditshow contexthide context

It's not an RPG, it is a beautifully crafted game, the gameplay has aged wonderfully, and it has an engrossing story that is a critical point in the rest of the franchise.source: Redditshow contexthide context

I totally agree, especially games that are completely engrossing with crafting and farming.source: Redditshow contexthide context

After a while you've got everything all figured out except how the story ends and the game becomes a bit tedious, but up until that point the game is really quite engrossing, and even after that it's still pretty good.source: Redditshow contexthide context

I want a game with elemental bending-esque magic system, primarily nonhuman races, vaguely asiatic society and architecture (perhaps based on the kind of thing you wouldn't normally think of like Indus civilization or Mongolia or Yayoi-era japan) and yeah I think based on the text Mysterious Akavir the political intrigue would be thoroughly engrossing.source: Redditshow contexthide context

The core game is so good and so engrossing that it would be a shame to see them blow it by not hashing out the mechanics of the player interacting with the universe itself and other players.source: Redditshow contexthide context
